Does contracting bubonic plague while exploring count?
Actually, I was hunting prairie dogs, but I did some exploring that day.

Dangerous yes, but not deadly nowadays thanks to modern medicine - it's one of those diseases that strikes fear into peoples hearts a lot but is very treatable nowadays, as I'm sure you know from experience.

Early in the COVID thing I telling people: "I survived the Black Death. This COVID stuff doesn't scare me."
Although I did conveniently leave of the little detail of how bubonic plaque is easily treated with antibiotics.
Sidebar: that statement about surviving the Black Death is actually a paraphrasing of a statement by a guy I knew named David Fishel. A guy came in David's deli pulled out a gun and demanded money. David drew his own gun and went into action. David used to say: "I survived Auschwitz. These guys don't scare me."

Here's a recent one- while exploring a storm drain in Denver on an overcast day (but with a 0% chance of rain), the water level started to rapidly rise as the water became more turbid. We immediately left and were able to get out quickly since we were only a few hundred yards in, fortunately. I'd bet it was raining several miles away across town an that rise in water level was from that rainstorm, even if it wasn't rainy in our immediate area.
"Sorry, I didn't know I'm not supposed to be here," he said, knowing full well he wasn't supposed to be there.

My friend and I were out exploring last week when we came across this box. At first we thought it was empty. Then we figured it was full of artifacts. This was the surprise we found when we lifted to top off. The instructions were still in the box. The date printed on the box was December 1969.
Now that will get your heart pumping.

I haven't had a chance to come across anything too dangerous yet, since I've only been exploring for a short amount of time. But I am curious to see what others have experienced. Not only out of curiosity, but for future reference and safety going forward.

cool photos, but can anybody chime in, would that radioactive sign itself be radioactive? i once found a similar sign on the side of the rode and thought it look cool, had it walled up in my room for a while before tossing it away.

A rattlesnake I walked by in a tunnel. The LED light did not help as it made the rattlesnake blend in very well.
